Well I guess you're just not as funny as you think you are. There
was no way to tell from your post that you were kidding. I'm not
sure how you think anyone should know you were "kidding" when you say
stuff like "Ride a bicycle or walk." and "I'll bet there are back
roads you could take to cover that 20 miles." and "Besides, 20 miles
isn't all that far on a bike. Once you get in shape you should be
able to cover it in a little over an hour..." and "Another idea...
move closer to work? Nah! That would be unAmerican." Don't take any
of this personally. After all, I'm just *kidding*.

So you stuff envelopes for a living. Congratulations. Just kidding.

Yep, you got me figured out now. I'm an envelope stuffing lawyer! Send me
your snaily and I'll send you some writs and whatnot. You can never have
enough of them.
